User blog:MentalZ/My Bloody Valentine's Day

Hello, folks! Welcome to my blog! As some of you may remember, last year, I made a blog entitled Valentine's Day in which I went into depth about my hatred for what Valentine's Day has become. I shall continue my rant about the holiday presently. So many holidays have been twisted and tweaked by the media to become nothing but shopping extravaganzas. Some great examples would be Christmas, Halloween, and Valentine's Day. Don't even bother trying to mention Thanksgiving. It has little or no marketing value in the sight of the media. It was originally a noble holiday created to honor several Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine. However, knowing this wretched world, of course it couldn't remain that way. It's become a holiday for blowing your bucks on perfume, cologne, chocolates, flowers, balloons, cards, sweets. and anything else they can market for the holiday. If 'love' is so great, them why not showing with materialistic things? Is that honestly what society has defined 'love' as (among other unpleasantries I shall avoid discussing)? Sadly, I'm afraid so.
